Time to regroup

-

 We are on a 5-day weekend from school because of Labor Day. Today is the last day. I spent the other 4 days letting life get to me. The details really aren't that important. I had some things to do that I really didn't want to do and so I let it get to me. I know better than that. I know that how I feel is determined by how I view things in my life. I also know that happiness is a choice and not a condition. I lost sight of all of that the last few days and it's time to dump that attitude/thinking and get back to living my life the way I want to. 

I did not get to the gym this weekend because of said attitude, and now my butt hurts bad. It hurts to sit (which is what I've done most of the weekend), it hurts to stand, it hurts to walk. Ugh. Need to get rid of this. 

So the plan for the day is: 

1. Be happy - this is not something that happens to me but it is something I choose. I choose happy today

2. Be productive - because of above referenced attitude, my productivity has been lacking and I need to pick it up today

3. Relax - it's back to school tomorrow so even though I have things to do, I need to relax and enjoy my time off. 


I need to figure out a way to get my 10,000 steps in a day. That is going to be my focus this week. The assignment for DMSC is to avoid all junk food and alcohol. Well that's easy for me so I'm instead going to focus on getting my steps. I may order a clip-on Fitbit since I think my watch doesn't get all my steps. Or I could focus on how many steps my watch does actually count in a day. My watch may say 7,000 but I'm actually getting 10,000. Maybe a FitBit.   

Anyway, off to shower and get this day rolling.

There are many ways to measure success,

and today I found yet another one. The Great Aloha Run this morning was just awesome. I didn't break any records, it was not my best time by far, but I think this was one of my best races ever. After getting up at 4 a.m., driving to the finish line, catching a bus to the start, standing in line for the port-a-potties(more on this later), I still found myself with over 45 mins before the race started. So I found a place to sit and people watched for 1/2 an hour - that is always fun. Finally, at 6:45 we headed out to the start. One of the things the Great Aloha Run does is they have the Sounds of Freedom. These are military units from all over the island that run in formation singing cadence the whole way. They line up on the side of the road and they have a silent start 8 minutes before the race starts. It's always a special sight to see them go. I'm a flag waving fool and when I see our military I just get all gushy. I feel so proud to live in a country where young

Colloidal Silver

-
colloidal silver is very fine particles that are suspended in liquid, usually water. This apparently has antimicrobial properties and has been used externally to treat wounds and burns to prevent infection. Working in the lab we get lots of nasty, nasty burns. You ain't been burned till you've been burned with hot sodium hydroxide - yow momma!!!! Anyway, we always kept a jar of colloidal silver around and used it on burns. It not only helped it heal it seemed to reduce the pain. I don't know how it just did. Now, some folks think you should drink this. They say it has antibiotic properties and is fairly harmless to drink. I don't know if that's true but it sure would be nice if it was. I hate taking antibiotics for a number of reasons. It would be nice to be able to drink something and have the same thing happen. colloidal silver has also been used to keep potable water drinkable for long periods. This sounds like some pretty amazing stuff. Being the scien

My blog is great!!!

Look to the left there. My blog has been rated by blogged.com as Great!!! I scored 8.5 out of 10. Woo Hoo!!! I don't normally get excited over things like this, but I'm on a mission to create great blogs and this is just a little validation. So for some reason I was incredibly busy last night and stayed up way past my bedtime. As a result I didn't get up this morning. Well, that and the fact that is was freaking cold. We are in this spring weather cycle where it is warm and beautiful during the day, and cold, cold, cold at night. Makes for good sleeping but hard getting out of bed. Fe-Lady is raising funds for a really, really good cause. Go here and help her out why don'tcha. In my humble opinion there is not enough we can do to help out our American Heroes. So go, give, it'll feel good...... That's it for now. I need to get some work done.
